When we talk about online streaming platforms, the first one to strike our mind is Netflix. Netflix has emerged out to be one of the largest platforms. Now, it even streams its own series and movies under the production of Netflix Originals. Similarly, when we talk of anime, the first thing to hit out minds is Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll, just like Netflix, has also started its own production for Crunchyroll Originals. In February, Crunchyroll announced the anime series The God of High School on behalf of Crunchyroll Originals. Apart from this, it also said a bunch of other anime series are also under production and would go on air soon, through a Twitter post.
